Randstad Healthcare Employee Confidence Index Shows Renewed Confidence Among Healthcare Workers
Feb 11, 2013, 11:06 EST
BOSTON, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth quarter findings from the Randstad Healthcare Employee Confidence Index reveals that healthcare workers are more confident in nearly all aspects surveyed, including strength of the economy and availability of jobs. In addition, U.S. healthcare workers are much more likely to look for a new job compared to the third quarter of 2012. The online survey, conducted in October through December, 2012 by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad Healthcare, showed that overall employee confidence rose by 4.1 points to 57.5 in the fourth quarter. The survey of 299 workers included physicians, healthcare administrators and other healthcare professionals.
"Given the latest findings of our Healthcare Employee Confidence Index, it appears much of the anxiety around the fiscal cliff concerns have all but dissipated as we enter 2013," said Steve McMahan, executive vice president of Randstad US, Professionals. "The healthcare employment market has exhibited strong growth in the past months, adding 23,000 jobs in January and rising 320,000 over the year. The long-term outlook for the industry is equally as promising. Specifically, physicians in urgent care and those with specialization in anti-aging medicine are in high demand, as are registered nurses in both permanent and temporary positions. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of registered nurses is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, with 26 percent gains from 2010 to 2020."
This year, many hospitals will be focused on cost containment and efficiency as they navigate compliance with recent changes in healthcare reform. The temporary nursing industry will be a key strategy for these healthcare organizations to increase their supply of nursing talent and new demands without sacrificing patient outcomes. In a study released in December by the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, which examined data from more than 1.3 million patients and 40,000 nurses in more than 600 hospitals, researchers from the university concluded that hiring temporary nurses immediately increases the nurse-to-patient ration—which correlates directly to decreased patient mortality rates.
Healthcare Workers Believe More Jobs Are Available
- The number of healthcare workers who believe there are more jobs available increased by nine percentage points to reach 22 percent, up from 13 percent in the third quarter of 2012. Less than half of healthcare workers surveyed (45 percent) believe there are fewer job opportunities available, a decline of nine percentage points compared to the previous quarter.
Healthcare Workers More Likely to Job Search
- Nearly one-third (31 percent) of healthcare workers say they are likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months. This represents an increase of eight percentage points from Q3 2012.
More Than Half of Healthcare Workers Confident They Can Find a New Job
- More than half of healthcare workers surveyed (58 percent) indicated they are confident they could find a job in the next 12 months. This reflects an increase from 55 percent in the previous quarter.
Slight Decrease in Employer Confidence Among Healthcare Workers
- A majority of healthcare workers (62 percent) feel confident in the future of their company. This number declined slightly by six percentage points from the third quarter.
Healthcare Workers Believe the Economy is Getting Stronger
- Just under three-in-ten (29 percent) healthcare workers say the economy is getting stronger this quarter, an increase of nine percentage points compared to Q3 2012. Forty-one percent of healthcare workers believe the economy is weakening, a decrease of three percentage points from last quarter.

First graders at P.S. 130 were able to meet their heroes face-to-face before kicking off their letter writing campaign in support of soldiers serving overseas.
Students at the Bayside school have committed to a three-week long initiative — part of Operation Gratitude — in which the school's 75 first graders will write letters, while the rest of the student body collects candy to be sent to deployed military men and women. So far, the school has collected 109 pounds of candy.
Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit, volunteer corporation that assembles and ships care packages to soldiers who are currently serving in all areas of the world, including the Middle East, Afghanistan, Africa and across international waters. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than 660,000 packages.
"It's wonderful that we're able to help," Principal Michelle Contratti said to the eager group of first graders during the small school assembly on Wednesday, November 9. "They fight for us so that we can live in a better world."
Longtime members of the military, Sergeant Alberto Caceda and Staff Sergeant Samuel Cottes visited the newly-minted Blue Ribbon school with a slideshow of photos from the places they've been deployed, as well as military equipment for a quick show-and-tell session.
Cottes — whose military experience spans 25 years — explained to the attentive group of youngsters that while soldiers are away fighting for the country, they give up warm, comfortable beds for sleeping bags and trade in pets for bats and huts for homes.
"Appreciate what you have — your homes, your family," Cottes said. "Sometimes I spend six months to a year away from home, and I miss it a lot."
Cottes has spent five years in the New York National Guard, 15 years in the Army Reserve and five years with the Air Force. Currently with the Air Force, he coordinates the medical logistics for soldiers and civilians who live in the areas to which he's been deployed — including Korea, Germany and Panama. He just returned from a tour in Mozambique, Africa.
Caceda — a military member for 10 years — then dumped out his rucksack and showed the students a variety of military equipment, including canteens, packages of Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), wet weather clothing, range finders, binoculars, goggles, arm pads, helmets, ponchos and protective vests.
He then invited the kids to stand up and take turns trying on the equipment.
"When you guys write us letters and show that you remember us, it makes us really happy," he said to the kids. "It makes us feel good. A lot of the time, we really miss home. Your letters and packages bring us up."
Caceda, who has been deployed to Iraq twice since 2005, told The Courier that during his last deployment, the one letter he received from a child kept him going during a low point he reached while overseas.
"I was really sad because I wasn't home. The letter helped me get through it. It got me fired up. It made me want to do my best, so that I could come home," he said, adding that he hung the letter up to constantly remind him of his goal.
"It makes us feel warm, and sometimes the guys really miss that. It's so great when the letters are from kids," he said.
Caceda has spent two years with the 2nd Infantry Division in South Korea and four years with the 10th Mountain Infantry in Fort Drum, New York. He was later assigned to the New York Army National Guard in New York City.
The visit from the national heroes couldn't have come at a better time, said Principal Contratti.
The first graders just completed a lesson dedicated to celebrating moments of courage found in every day life — both big and small.
"These are real life heroes," she said.

Learning Disability Documentation
The following guidelines are provided to assure that documentation of disability submitted to the Accessible Education Center (AEC) is appropriate to both verify disability and to support requests for accommodations, academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids.
It is the policy of San Jose State University to provide appropriate accommodations
to students who have documented disabilities meeting the eligibility requirements
of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.
To establish eligibility for services, students must present documentation that meets the following criteria:
Testing Must Be Comprehensive And Current
The testing process should utilize current, technically adequate and appropriate standardized instruments and should be based on a thorough examination of the student in the following areas. Any revisions or successors to the tests listed below would be included upon publication.
In most cases, current means testing that has been conducted within the past three years. Because the provision of all reasonable accommodations and services is based upon assessment of the current impact of the student's disabilities on his/her academic performance, it is in a student's best interest to provide recent and appropriate documentation. In the case of adults tested after age of 21, testing more than five years old will be re-evaluated.
The Diagnostic Interview
Because learning disabilities are most commonly manifested during childhood, educational history about learning difficulties in elementary, secondary and post-secondary education must be included. An evaluation report must also include a comprehensive diagnostic interview by a qualified evaluator who addresses relevant background information to support the diagnosis. Such information may include:
- Developmental history
- Academic history including results of prior standardized testing, and notable trends in academic performance
- Family history
- Psychosocial history
- Medical history, including the absence of a medical basis for the present symptoms
- History of prior and present psychotherapy and pharmaceutical-therapy
- Discussion of any dual diagnosis of alternative or co-existing mood, behavioral, neurological and/or personality disorders
- A description of the presenting learning problem(s).
The Neuropsychological or Psychoeducational Evaluation
The neuro psychological or psycho educational evaluation for the diagnosis of a specific learning disability must be submitted on letterhead of the qualified professional and it must provide clear and specific evidence of a learning disability. It is not acceptable to administer one test, nor is it acceptable to base a diagnosis on only one of the several sub-tests. Objective evidence of a substantial limitation to learning must be provided. Minimally, domains to be addressed must include the following:
Aptitude/Cognitive Ability
This list is not intended to be definitive or exhaustive.
A complete and comprehensive intellectual/cognitive assessment is required. This may include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition (WAIS-III)
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV)
- Woodcock-Johnson-Third Edition: Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJ-III)
- Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test
- Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scale (RIAS)
- Stanford-Binet (SB5)
- Test of Non-Verbal Intelligence (TONI-3)
The Slosson Intelligence Test-Revised and the Kaufman Adult Intelligence Test do not constitute adequate intelligence test measures.
Information Processing
Specific areas of information processing (e.g., short-term memory, working memory, long-term memory, sequential memory, auditory and visual perception/processing, processing speed, executive functioning, psychomotor ability) should be assessed as the information processing deficit and it must have the logical nexus that explains the academic difficulty. Acceptable instruments include the following, but are not limited to:
- Wechsler Memory Scale
- Rey Osterrieth Complex Figure
- Trails A & B
- Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Third Edition (PPVT-III)
- Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test
- Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test
- Beery Visual-Motor Integration Test
- Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
Other instruments relevant to the presenting learning problems may be used in conjunction with one or more of the aptitude tests named above.
A complete achievement battery is required with all sub-tests and standard scores. The battery must include current levels of academic functioning in reading (decoding and comprehension), mathematics, and written language. Acceptable instruments include, but are not limited to:
- Woodcock-Johnson-Third Edition: Tests of Achievement (WJ III)
- Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT III)
- Test of Written Language-2 (TOWL-2)
- Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT 4th ed.)
- Spadafore Diagnostic Reading Test
- Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised
- Stanford Diagnostic Mathematics Test
The Wide Range Achievement Test- Revised (WRAT 3 or 4) is not a comprehensive measure of achievement, and therefore is not acceptable if used as the sole measure of achievement. The Nelson-Denny Skills Test (Form G& H) is not a sole appropriate diagnostic measure of reading achievement. It is a useful screening instrument when administered under standardized conditions, but it should not be used as a basis for diagnosis.
The Report Must Include A Specific Diagnosis
- Individual "learning styles", "learning differences", and "academic problems" in and of themselves do not constitute a learning disability. The nature and severity of the functional limitation(s) must be supported by the test data, academic history, anecdotal and clinical observations that may include the student's level of motivation, study skills, and other non- cognitive factors. These findings must support the fact that individual's functional limitations are due to the stated disabilities.
- The report must indicate what steps were taken to evaluate the impact of second language issues to rule out the possibility that second language difficulties are a cause of the academic problems.
Actual Test Scores Must Be Provided
Standard scores must be provided for all normed measures. Percentiles are also acceptable; grade equivalents are not acceptable unless standard scores and/or percentiles are also included. The assessment must show evidence of discrepancies and intra-cognitive differences. The particular profile of the student's strengths and weaknesses must provide a rationale for the accommodations that are recommended.
Tests Used To Document Eligibility Must Be Technically Sound
The tests used must be reliable, valid and standardized for use with an adult population. The test findings should document both the nature and severity of the learning disabilities.
A Description Of Requested Accommodations Including The Rationale Must Be Provided.
The diagnostic report must include specific recommendations for accommodations and relevant recommendations regarding the curriculum, as well as testing considerations. A detailed explanation must be provided as to why each accommodation is recommended and should be correlated to specific test results or clinical observations. If any accommodation or auxiliary aid was provided in the past, it should be discussed; including information about specific conditions under which the accommodations were used (e.g. standardized testing, final exams, national board examination) and whether or not they benefited the student. For example, if the diagnosed condition is a learning disability, what is the processing disorder, and what is the relationship between the disorder and the requested accommodation? Any school plan (e.g. IEP or 504 plan) is not sufficient in and of itself, but can be included as part of a more comprehensive assessment battery as described in this document.
Documentation for students who have been determined eligible for accommodations and support services according to the criteria established by the California Community College system will be reviewed in accordance with the above prescribed CSU methodology and criteria.
If no prior accommodations have been provided, the qualified professional and/or student should include a detailed explanation as to why no accommodations were used in the past and why accommodations are needed at this time.
A Qualified Professional Must Conduct The Evaluation
Professionals conducting assessment and rendering diagnoses of specific learning disabilities must be qualified to do so. Experience in working with an adult population is essential.

Unlike the standard glass envelope lamps used since Edison, the LED will not break when dropped. The life expectancy is well over 5000 hours. The light emitted by the LED (light emitting diode) is similar to sunlight and travels farther underwater than the more yellow light from an Edison lamp. In addition a power control circuit is built into the light to help maintain the same brightness throughout the discharge of a set of batteries. A tough O-ring sealed ABS and polycarbonate case protects the components all the way down to 500 feet. The small size of the C4 eLED® makes it ideal for revealing the incredible marine life hidden under ledges.

text: Trying to create an historical perspective about my personal relationship with a camera is quite daunting, for I cannot recall a moment to where there wasn't one in my hands.As a mere child, in the First Grade; I entered a drawing contest to where the Grand Prize was a Brownie camera. Frankly, it never occurred to me that I would win; but, luck had it that I was the recipient of this marvelous instrument. At that same school, in later years; I became the School Photographer. To this day, I remain quite proud of the images that are forever preserved in those yearbooks.I have questioned myself as to my interest, to which I have concluded that it is some sort of haphazard DNA occurrence. It is rumored that my paternal grandfather was the first man in Norfolk to have his own "in-home" darkroom. My father and my uncle were smitten with the avocation; to which it only seems fitting that the photography gene was passed along. Being a Third Generation Jeweler may have a little something to do with it, as well, for you always train your eye to the notion of aesthetics, proportion, and perspective. If you appreciate one artful medium; it stands to reason that you will love and dabble in another.Having grown up quite "Old School", my mindset to photography are the basics that have been passed down generationally, which are to think creatively about your shot - where do you position yourself, stay away from the "normal" perspective that the masses may feel is glorious, pay attention to lighting, click the shutter generously, and keep your fingers crossed for good results. Having not been reared on Photoshop; my photographs, for the most part, are how you see them in their natural state. Paying attention to my surroundings when simply going for a car ride, or taking walk, is my muse. There is no contrived notion that today is "picture day."Thank you for visiting my ArtPal site, and I hope that the walls of your home or office will enjoy a few of my Photographic Designs. A morning cup of coffee with your favorite Ben Salomonsky image on it is most assuredly a marvelous way to start your day, as well.

Bout an hour goes by and i'm like so are we going to go back to my room and fuck or what? They were both game so we went up there. One starts stripping down while the other one was "in the bathroom", obviously looking for valuables. You could see that after 5 minutes and getting down bra and panties she looked a little panicked and called for the other girl. Other girl comes out of the bathroom and started stripping while the other one continued the search. This one gets down to just panties and the other girl comes back out. At this point i'm acting drunk (i'm not) and getting my hands all over them. I figured any minute now they would haul ass seeing that anything of value i had was put into the safe before i left that night. To my surprise, both chicks get butt naked and they start going at it with each other. The second stripper girl stops, grabs her purse off the night table and pulls out a condom. She throws me the purse trying to be all tough and sexy while she motions for me to "come here" with the condom. As i put her purse down i notice a small caliber handgun in it. Being that i'm drunk, i stumbled and was able to get the handgun out and slide it between the box spring and mattress as i'm standing up. I get up next to her on the bed and she puts the condom on my junk and gives me her ass doggie style as she goes back down on the other girl. You don't have to ask me twice. Pounding that ass for a bit and figured why not get some of the other chick. The purse girl was willing to trade off but the other chick seemed timid. While crawling across the bed to stick it in the other girl the purse girl is franticly going through here purse. I ask her what the problem is and she said she lost something. At that time i had my hand on her pistol and whipped it out asking her if that's what she was looking for?!?! The look on their faces was priceless. I just wish i could have seen the look on their faces as i backdoored the both of them at gun point. After blowing my wad on the purse girl's face i kicked them both out of my room fully naked, only shoes. Took nearly $500 out of the other girls purse and found another $1200 in the purse girl's bra just before i dropped all their crap in a dumpster at the construction site near the hotel. Wiped down the pistol and buried it in the bottom of the ice maker on another floor. If you're wondering, yes; this is a complete fabrication. It also stands as an example of what the OP needs to write rather than, "seemed weird so i gunned it...."
Got it OP, make something up that is more interesting to read than you bailing on what could have been the greatest night of your life.

MOTW: Five Interesting Facts About "The Princess Bride"
MOTW: Five Interesting Facts About "The Princess Bride"
"The Princess Bride," based on the novel of the same name by William Goldman, is so good that many critics have ranked the film as one of the best love stories of all time. Even the American Film Institute (AFI) put it on their all-time list, ranking it at number eighty-eight. It was released in 1987, but it has stood the test of time because the story is told in a charming way with fantastic performances. Director Rob Reiner remembers the filming of the movie fondly and has shared some very interesting facts about the film over the years. Here are five of the most intriguing tidbits about "The Princess Bride."
Billy Crystal Had Everyone in Stitches
Billy Crystal is primarily known as a comedian, so it should be no surprise that he had everyone on the set laughing hilariously at his portrayal of Miracle Max. Reiner has said in several interviews that he had to leave the room when Crystal was filming his scenes because his laughter was a distraction. In fact, Reiner laughed so hard that he occasionally became nauseated, and a sick director is bad news on a film set. The only logical solution was to leave the room for the Miracle Max scenes. Crystal inadvertently caused additional damage when Mandy Patinkin, who played the revenge-seeking Inigo Montoya, laughed so hard he broke a rib. Despite filming most of his own fight sequences in the film, Patinkin never injured himself until he watched Crystal filming as Miracle Max.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Was Almost Cast in the Film
André the Giant's performance as Fezzik is one of the funniest parts of the film, but it almost didn't happen. André's busy schedule didn't initially allow for him to take the role, so producers considered Schwarzenegger instead. As fate would have it, the future Governor of California's movie career took off, and his new fee was too much for the producers to fit into the budget. André's schedule opened up around the same time, and he was able to take on the role of Fezzik after all.
Peter Falk Balked at Playing a Grandfather
Some people become grandparents at a very young age, while others don't reach that magical milestone until much later in life. A man who is sixty years old is considered to be at a good age to be a grandfather, but Peter Falk didn't agree. He felt he was too young to play the grandfather of Fred Savage's character in the film, so he asked Reiner if he could wear prosthetics to make him look older. Falk was unhappy with the prosthetics because he felt they made him look like his skin had been burned, so he filmed his scenes without them. In the end, both he and Reiner felt that he looked old enough on camera to play a grandfather after all.
Inigo Montoya Is Still Mandy Patinkin's Favorite Part
Patinkin is a seasoned veteran of film, television, and the stage who is known around the world for his singing voice. As Inigo Montoya, he wasn't tasked with singing a song, but the role is still Patinkin's favorite from his long and storied career. Part of the reason is that he felt the part was cathartic for him, because he had recently lost his beloved father to cancer when filming began. In Patinkin's mind, when Inigo battled Count Rugen in the film for killing his father, he was slaying cancer for killing his real-life dad. It helped him deal with his loss in a way that he couldn't have done had he not taken the part.
André the Giant Learned His Lines Phonetically
André was born and raised in France, and as a result, he had a very thick accent when he tried to speak English. Even though he could speak a limited amount of English, he couldn't read it very well, so Reiner had to come up with a way for him to learn his lines. Since the director really wanted André in the part, he recorded all of the pro wrestler's lines onto tape in his own voice. André then listened to the recordings over and over, learning his lines phonetically. On some occasions, he didn't even understand what he was saying. Nevertheless, his performance is considered to be one of the best and most charming in the film, and Reiner didn't have to re-record a single one of his lines because André had studied the tapes so hard.

Who Should Be Elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame? — Sports Survey of the Day
On Wednesday, baseball's Hall of Fame will announce the players who comprise the 2013 class of inductees—or they will announce that no one has surpassed the 75 percent voting mark required for induction. Which would be remarkable, given that some of the greatest players ever to step on a baseball diamond are on the ballot this year. So why the uncertainty? Steroids, of course.
This year's ballot of candidates features some extraordinary players appearing for the first time—extraordinary both in their talents and the controversy their careers generated. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, two of the very best ever to play the game, headline this year's class of first-time nominees, followed closely by Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, Curt Schilling and Craig Biggio.
Bonds, Clemens and Sosa all figure prominently in any discussion of baseball's so-called steroid era of the mid- to late 1990s and early 2000s. Bonds is baseball's all-time home run king, owning both the single-season record (73) and the career record (762). But if you ask some people, they'll tell you those "records" are illegitimate and should be marked with an asterisk or, better yet, stricken from the history books entirely due to Bonds' steroid usage.
Roger Clemens was the most prominent name to appear the Mitchell Report, which investigated the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball. The seven-time Cy Young-award winner fought the PED accusations vigorously, and was even accused of perjuring himself before Congress, when he swore he had never used PEDs. He was found not guilty on all counts, but that hasn't persuaded some voters.
Sosa, whose career never reached the heights of Bonds' and Clemens', is even less likely to reach Cooperstown. The only player ever to hit 60 home runs three different times, Sosa will also be remembered for somewhat hilariously pretending not to understand English when he was brought before Congress in 2005. His lawyer testified on his behalf, saying that he had never taken steroids.
Piazza, regarded by many as the greatest hitting catcher of all time, never tested positive for PED usage, but the occasional rumor still swirled about him. Schilling and Biggio are generally considered "clean" players, and each has a solid, but not slam-dunk case for Hall of Fame induction. Schilling had 3,118 career strikeouts; every eligible pitcher who reached the 3,000 mark is in the Hall. Biggio was an all-star at multiple positions and passed the 3,000-hit milestone.

Hey all, I have a quick question for the WinXP ppl here.
I used winXP pro (corp) with cable internet and a small home network (one other box runing linux and bsd).
both ran thrue a realtec 8139 (realcrap card)
one died and I switched one realtec for an old 3com 900B-Combo
all fine, untill I switch on network sharing and then I get a popup stating the needed IP is already taken by another network card.
I know Windows XP remembers network cards and their IP numbers, I remeber swapping a card in a friends puter and giving the new card the old IP. I got a popup stating: Warning some other card (not in the puter now) has that IP allready, but I could still change it.
Anyone know how to flush the old cards database in windowsXP ??
[Edit] Ah I found that typing in the IP (192.168.0.1) helps !!
problem fixed.
So does anyone know how, where and why Microsoft Windows XP stores all this usefull (???) information ??[/Edit]

Benefits Western New York and college students
Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, today voted in favor Gov. Cuomo's economic development plan for upstate New York, titled Start-Up NY. Ceretto called the plan another step in the right direction for economic development in Western New York and particularly beneficial for college students and recent graduates who are currently struggling through the recession.
Start-UP NY establishes tax-free zones around SUNY and CUNY campuses for new start-up businesses for 10 years. Employees of these businesses will also be exempt from state income taxes for 10 years, with exceptions after five years for high-income earners. The new businesses will not be approved if they directly compete with another established business.
Ceretto issued the following statement:
"Start-Up NY is a good program that will bring new businesses and jobs to Western New York. In particular, I am excited about the potential business opportunities on campuses at Niagara University, Niagara Community College and its culinary school, and other universities in the area.
"New start-ups that can offer students and residents jobs where they don't have to pay income taxes are great for our college students and recent graduates who are disproportionately affected by the recession. My constituents constantly tell me that their top concern is the lack of jobs in Western New York. This program can help create those jobs and new opportunities for the recent college graduates and families of Western New York."

The legendary Indian Motorcycle company has had its ups and downs. Arguably one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers still in existence, they have always had to fight another old and established American manufacturer, Harley-Davidson.
Both companies have been taken over several times, but Indian has had more knock downs. But every time they have risen, they have come back stronger. Last week in Sturgis they launched their new motorcycles. With big capital behind them in the shape of Polaris industry, they seem to be on the right track.
But will it last? Polaris make notably ATVs, but they already have one premium motorcycle brand, the Victory. Can Polaris keep pumping in money for two motorcycles brands? Currently Wall Street does think so, since Polaris's share price keeps rising.
The Sturgis launch was a gutsy but very smart move. You reach a very large audience who ride the right kind of motorcycle; cruisers made-in-the-USA. It is a predominantly Harley-Davidson market, and Indian's TV introduction teaser was targeted directly at the typical Harley rider.
Have a look (and a giggle) at the video:
The new Indian Motorcycle line-up looks the business, and should appeal to many bikers, and not only in the USA. If Harley-Davidson has been expanding royally abroad, it could benefit Indian as well. But at prices that allows many people to buy a good sized car (between $19,000 and $23,000), you need to be wealthy or fanatical to afford one.
So will all this help the old but classic brand? Money helps, that is for sure. But will a large population that is forcefully loyal to the Milwaukee brand switch? Time will tell.
Let us hope they do. There is always place for more manufacturers and iconic brands.

Born: 1923, Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland
Describes the first night of the German invasion of Poland [Interview: 1990]
Shortly after the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, William's family was ordered into a ghetto and his brother went to a work camp. William bribed officials to discharge his brother from a hospital destined for evacuation to Auschwitz. Later, after escaping from a prison camp to tend to his brother, William was jailed. He was sent to Blechhammer, Gleiwitz (where he met his future wife), and other camps. William collapsed during a death march near the Austrian border, but was then liberated. His parents and brother perished.

About Piero Golia
Los Angeles-based Conceptual artist Piero Golia is interested in the theatrical possibilities of art. His work includes such stunts as compacting a bus to fit into a booth at the Los Angeles Art Fair (Untitled, 2008) and installing a large white globe atop the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood that lights up when the artist is in town (2010). Golia has also explored more traditional forms of art. In the series "Constellation Paintings" (2010), remnants from a taxi that crashed into his home and demolished most of his possessions were embedded in glossy black resin to create "action paintings" that pair accident with the artist's hand.

Agreement to Develop Long-Acting Rilpivirine as PrEP
September/October 2013
On 25 September 2013, Janssen announced that it had signed a license agreement with international nonprofit health organisation PATH for early stage research to develop a long acting depot formulation of rilpivirine as a potential pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against HIV.1
PATH is planning to collaborate with partners including the HIV Prevention Trials Network for future research for these initial phase 2 studies, and this initiative is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.2
Rilpivirine is an NNRTI currently licensed as an oral drug in ARV treatment-naive adults with a viral load less than or equal to 100,000 copies/mL and is coformulated with tenofovir/FTC in the fixed dose combination Eviplera (Edurant in the U.S.).

The Library has a large number of subject specific online encyclopedias, companions and handbooks with exhaustive and well-researched entries written by subject experts. These essays are generally helpful startiing points and can help you in defining and focusing your topic. Essays generally include bibliographies that will lead you to further sources on your topic.
Find a sampling of useful sociology and methods resources below. More encyclopedias, companions and handbooks can be found on the Sociology E-Reference list and in the library's online catalog.
While researching your topic, don't forget to take a look at the vast collection of books Falvey has to offer. You are probably accustomed to finding scholarly articles as part of a research project, but books are also a significant area of scholarly publishing. Don't forget to hit the stacks! (Or, click through to our many online and e-books.)
To search for books, go to the library's Search tab, and then click the smaller Books & More tab. You can search for keywords, or you can use the drop-down menu to search for specific titles or authors.
The most efficient approach to locating scholarly journal articles on any topic is to start out with one of the library's databases such as Sociological Abstracts. These databases index hundreds of scholarly journals and will link you to articles on your topic of choice.
The library has subscriptions to numerous scholarly sociology journals. The links on the library's web site are your access point to the full text online. You may be prompted to authenticate as a Villanova student. Use your Villanova user id and email password. You can find some of the same content through Google, but you may not be able to link to the full text.
For interdisciplinary topics, you may need to search subject-specific databases in other subject areas, such as psychology or education. Check the Subject Guides for other great library resources that may be useful for your research.
For an extensive research project, it is advisable to create a personal account in the databases that you use most often. These accounts allow you to easily save your search history, as well as useful articles. Databases will time out after a period of inactivity, and all of your searches and results will be lost if you were not logged in to your personal account.
For sociology research, many databases are searched through the ProQuest platform. This brief video tutorial will introduce you to the My Research portal in ProQuest.
Once you have identified a useful article, check to see whether it is available in full text from that database. You will see a link or an icon for an HTML or PDF version of the article (sometimes the full article is displayed below the abstract). If the article is not available in full text through that database, it may still be available through another vendor. Click the find it button to see if it is available. This will take you to the 360Link screen:
Database searching is not the only way to find great scholarly articles for your research project. Once you have found useful articles, pay attention to the sources those authors use to build their own research. It is likely that the sources that were important to those authors will also be important to your research. All scholarly research should include a thorough bibliography or reference list at the end of the article.
To see if Falvey Library owns an article you have seen referenced by other authors, check the Journal Finder. Either type the title of the journal (not the article) into the search box to then browse for the volume and issue you are looking for, or use the Citation Lookup to search for the entire citation.
To search Falvey's book collection, go to the Search Tab. Use the drop-down menu to search by the title or author of the book you are looking for.
Articles and books that are not owned by the library can be easily borrowed through our interlibrary loan system. ILLiad is best for requesting articles, and E-Z Borrow is the preferred method for requesting books that are available in that system.
Checking an article's reference list is a great way of searching the past for related research, but how can you find out what impact that article had on future research? The Cited Reference Search in Social Sciences Citation Index allows you to do just that.Social Sciences Citation Index/Web of Science
Choose the Cited Reference Search to search for the author and journal title of an article you have found to be useful. Search to see if other scholars have cited that article since its publication.
Very recent articles will not have been cited yet. Because of the great volume of annual publications, many articles are rarely cited. Also, works may have been cited by research not indexed in SSCI.
Writing your own survey or conducting research interviews can be very challenging. Luckily, there are resources available to help.
Begin with the E-Reference Resources for Research Methods. These online encyclopedias can clear up any questions you have about research methods or statistical analysis you may have at any stage of the research process.
If you intend to use a survey or questionnaire as part of your research project, take a look at these books regarding survey methods.
Administer your survey online! Survey Monkey is a web-based survey platform. The free version is suitable for most projects. Google Forms can also be embedded into emails or webpages, or sent as links to collect data for a quick questionnaire or survey.
Conducting research interviews can be even more intimidating than writing your own survey. Before you dive in, research techniques and best practices with these books about research interviews and focus groups.
Even though you have been using APA style for the past 4 years, you may be full of dread at the thought of writing your reference list. The library is here to help!
Whether writing your reference list by hand or proofreading a Refworks bibliography, you will definitely need to have the APA rules on hand. Check out the resources below:

This will be another unusual post for me—merely a ramble of sorts. I generally think quite a bit, prior to writing a new blog entry and I try to create something of real value. This generally means that I write pretty long posts. It also means that I spend a huge amount of time either researching/preparing the content for the post, or in just writing it and then later editing it.
But as I read other blogs, I notice how many bloggers write regular, or even daily, posts. As a reader of those blogs, there is something very comforting about hearing from a blogger at regular intervals. And it doesn't bother me that many of the posts are things that I'll quickly skip over. Eventually they write something that catches my attention in a deeper way and I read that particular post more attentively.
So it's not true that a blog post has to be 2,000 words long to be of value, or has to be the product of some project that has taken a number of weeks to complete. I would still like to work on those project and write those posts. But I think I'll also try to mix it up with shorter posts that are merely miscellaneous thoughts and ramblings. I might even manage to talk myself out of editing and rewriting these shorter posts.
In the end, I guess I have several goals when it comes to blogging. One is to provide some information, or tools, that are of lasting value to family historians and genealogists. But also important is my goal to just have a conversation with the genealogical community. I know that I really appreciate seeing regular posts written by my favorite bloggers. It makes me feel like I have an ongoing connection with them, whether or not I read every post. And I'd like to be on the other side of that equation occasionally. It also matches my real-life personality. I like to talk.
One final comment before this post becomes an example of irony, as it gets longer and longer. There is great value in both the long form—huge 2,000 word articles that teach—and the short form—several paragraph posts that lay out a quick set of thoughts. But there is even value in the shortest form imaginable. I'm a huge fan of Twitter (www.twitter.com/spsexton) and if you follow me on Twitter, you'll see that I "publish" many tiny little thoughts throughout the day. Twitter enforces a message length of something like 140 characters and I find it quite easy to present a little thought in even so few characters.
So if I have any sort of New Year's resolution at all (I normally make my resolutions in April, on my birthday), it would be this—to embrace not only the super-short form of Twitter and the super-long form of well-planned blog posts, but to also write some shorter blog posts over the next year. I look forward to the ongoing conversation on the blog. And I hope that I'll also see some of you on Twitter.

I couldn't agree more. Death by cop, seems to be the norm these days. Makes me think that there are those that do this purposefully, in order to be a kind of martyr to their people. As though a roadside cross and a bunch of stuffed toys is gift enough for donating your life "For the cause." The black lives matter people, they call all blacks that agree with whites or that are Conservatives or that are even just Republicans…. "Uncle Toms." This simply is NOT the case when they speak the truth about what the problem really is.
I read online that Germany no longer waves the Nazi flag because they are ashamed of that part of their history. In America, the Confederate flag is freely displayed in front of homes, on cars, in front of government buildings etc. People use ideas other than slavery (states' rights, etc) as excuses to wave a flag in the very nation where it was defeated. It's so hypocritical, it's insane. White America needs to hold a conference and tell ITSELF that the past is over. Until then, we don't believe you.
Stephanie Germany no longer flies the Nazi flag because they are not a nazi party. It's that simple. Just because over time people have associated the Confederate Flag with slavery doesn't mean that's what it stood for. Either way it's a moot point since its been removed from all state houses and govt buildings. Hell, even the Dukes of Hazard have been taken off the air, and all their merchandise from stores. And they surely didn't stand for any racist beliefs.
"Bring up the past which has nothing to do with the problem today and call everyone racist."
I fail to understand this common sentiment. Because of their visual identity, people, for many generations, were unable to own property, a primary form of investment in the US. They were denied jobs they were capable of doing, besides being randomly murdered or incarcerated.
These experiences alone can easily cause long-term poverty. They all occurred, facts which are easily verifiable. What keeps people from ever asking these questions, "why are they poor", "why is their music violent", "why do they dress like thugs", and instead coming up with the substantial fluff that fills this (and most online/anonymous comment sections) is a very complex subject.
Like one comment suggests, to even frame a question such as "do blacks xxx" first generalizes a diverse set of people, then suggests that these crimes are committed because of who they are. This is an incredibly absurd, slippery slope argument.
The only end to that slope is that this certain group is 'predisposed' to being this stereotyped way. Which would boil down to genetics. Which would be an argument straight from the 1800's. "Africans are genetically inferior, uncivilized, and… do they even have souls?"
